Diagnosis.
Shell medium, slender, light corneous. Lower whorls smooth, flattened, nearly of the same width. Upper whorls indistinctly wrinkled-costate. Neck strongly wrinkled-costate. Peristome with simple margin. Lamellae superior and spiralis overlap. In front view lamella subcolumellaris often visible. Lunella lateral, mostly connected to the basalis. Subclaustralis as long as the basalis, sulcalis present. Anterior plica superior absent or very weak and separate from the lunella complex.
Dimensions
(in mm). Hs: 15.6-18.6 (holotype 18.6), Ws: 3.8-4.2 (holotype 4.2) (

Distribution.
Valley of the Radika in western Macedonia. This taxon is known to occur within a few km section of the valley. Downstream it is replaced by
Montenegrina perstriata radikae
(Fig. 25).
Remarks.
In the description,
Nordsieck (1972)
mentions material from from three sites, without specifying which of these are designated as paratypes. Sample SMF 247211 is labelled as paratypes and
Zilch (1981)
lists it accordingly. But SMNS-N 6933, the other part of the same lot, is without indication of type status.
